Hollinger Power Rankings are up

[Droid101]

Some people don't like them, but they're kind of interesting. Rates the teams by strength of schedule and point differential (which is a better predictor of future success than win/loss record). More weight is given to the most recent games.

1. Raptors
2. Mavericks
3. Golden State
4. Portland
5. San Antonio
6. Grizzlies
7. Kings
8. Pelicans
9. Clippers
10. Wizards

For the rest.

Interesting note: Lakers have faced the toughest schedule so far. Knicks and Rockets have faced the easiest schedules so far.

Kings :applause:

They'd be top 3 if they had of beaten Memphis and Dallas. Damn foul trouble on DMC.

[Im Still Ballin]

They have also had one of the tougher schedules...

Played the Clippers, Blazers, Mavs, Grizzlies, Warriors, Phoenix, Pelicans, Spurs, Bulls, OKC and Minnesota. One EC team (An elite one) and multiple top western teams.

East takes the top spot. Lebron's got his work cut out for him this year.

Yes they have played the 2nd hardest schedule, which is why they're rated so high even though they don't have that great a record.

[Im Still Ballin]

I like these power rankings. Hollinger seems like a smart guy.

[LoneyROY7]

8 out of 10 from the West. :oldlol:

Bulls w/ no Rose or Gasol:no:

[Im Still Ballin]

And they whooped the Bulls. Granted, it would be close with Gasol and Rose. Bulls are the best east team when healthy IMO. They have a nice record for playing so many road games with injuries to key players.

Why the Grizz so low? They just killed the Clippers and Rockets.

Weak schedule, low margin of victory. Get more of dem blowouts!

Also, I think margin of victory means less for them, since they play so slow. Getting 7 points on the Grizzlies is a lot harder than getting 7 points on the Mavericks for example.

im not certain, but i think the margin of victory is pace adjusted, per 100 possessions

so playing slow would affect memphis's margin of victory.

Raps on top. :rockon:

peaking too early doe? :coleman:

[Anaximandro1]

several teams taking advantage of weak schedules. The standings will look completely different in a couple months. What they are doing now isn't sustainable.
